Massive Rubber Duckie

Loire Estuary is an outdoor, contemporary-art exhibition in France featuring works by 30 artists from around the world. Their creations have been installed along a 40-mile corridor at the mouth of the Loire River, stretching from Saint-Nazaire, on France's Atlantic coast, to Nantes, which lies inland.

Last year Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman presented his project "Canard De Bain," a giant rubber duckie. After wrestling with some air-inflating problems, his 105-foot-tall, 85-foot-wide rubber duck finally took to the sea.
